Donald Trump pledged to clean up the dysfunctional Veterans Administration. He should add to his list reforming the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the other health agency with blood on its hands. A scary new superbug — Candida auris — has popped up in hospitals in New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland. So...

As the homeless shelter population this week surged to a record high, City Hall and its allies insist it would be worse without Mayor de Blasio’s new policies. Then it got tragically worse: Two babies were scalded to death in their tiny beds after a freak radiator accident in a Bronx slum unit. That horror...

In Israel last week, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Green­blatt told legislators that anti-Semitism in America is now comparable to that of 1930s Germany. Yes, his fearmongering went that far: “Anti-Semitism has wound its way into mainstream conversations in a manner that many Jews who lived through Nazi Germany find terrifying.” He then laid blame for...

Hillary Clinton has emerged from, in her own words, “taking selfies in the woods” to embrace the latest Democratic excuse for her election loss: so-called fake news.

Kristin Davis is a political progressive who predicts a massive eruption of gloom and doom brought on by the New World Order — and suffers from the paranoid delusion that unspecific acts of physical or verbal violence committed by unseen villains are soon to threaten lives everywhere. To those afflicted by these melodramatic-seeming daymares, the...

A funny thing happened after Mayor de Blasio essentially blamed President-elect Donald Trump for “a huge uptick in hate crimes”: Someone looked at the numbers.

For example, most reaction to the president-elect’s choice for Labor secretary, CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder, obsessed about Puzder’s remarks slamming ObamaCare and the left’s...
